    My friends are I were looking to get into some serious board gaming and this came up as highly regarded on several sites, most notably the Board Game Geeks forum. We didn't have much (any) prior experience board gaming but weren't afraid to dive into something pretty in-depth. I am glad we dove in head first. The game is very complicated, but eases you into gameplay via tutorial scenarios. The first scenario took the longest because we had to learn all the basics. It took us one night (~4 hours) to learn the basics and play through the first scenario, but it was a blast. Not bad for our first foray into board gaming, I must say. The more you play, the richer the experience gets. It introduces new concepts slowly, and in a way that makes sense given the scenario. Soon you'll find yourself shooting guns, laying mines, tossing grenades, torturing other players, finding awesome gear, planning elaborate strategies... It is awesome.

    The actual pieces seem pretty study; it's been through a quite few sessions without any noticeable wear or tear with the exception of the tiny CP pieces. However the CP pieces' looks aren't important, and they can be easily replaced. The figurines are a bit bland so I am in the process of painting them. They are somewhat difficult to paint since they are attached to the plastic bases, but I think you can remove them and then glue them back in. Overall, the quality of everything is pretty high and I think it justifies the price tag.

    I don't believe I have any complaints so far. It is a bit of a time sink, but I've enjoyed every minute. I am always dying to find someone new willing to play with me. It is a bit complicated, but it's never overwhelming. The rules make sense and are introduced gradually. I would highly recommend this game to anyone willing to spend some time playing board games.

    Be sure to look through the list of known errata! Either on the official site or the Board Game Geeks forum. Doing so might save you a whole load of heartache.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is an unsung gem of the board game/miniatures scene!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2015

    It is initially very complex rules-wise, but the reason for the complexity is an intensive effort to balance out the gameplay perfectly. No one player has too much or too little time or control and issuing orders unlike many miniature games felt honestly like delivering orders to troops instead of shifting them around based on movement alone. The tons of double sided puzzle pieces that make up the scenarios are richly detailed, thick, and have a lot of variety for not only Earth Reborn games but if you're creative they can be used for other RPG scenarios involving post apocalyptic storylines.
    The miniatures are high quality and pre-made but not pre-painted which cuts down the aggravation of assembly but allows you to get creative with painting and detail work, especially on the MASSIVE Mammoth mech miniature! There's a handful of these miniatures in the box and they sadly didn't make any expansions I know of but the ones you get have fleshed out backstories, abilities, and distinctive looks.
    I was able to play this with my parents and my friends and after the first hurdle of the daunting rule book and admittedly confusing card layout the mechanics become secondary to the strategy of positioning characters, executing missions, and fighting your foes in a myriad of ways that other games just won't allow.
    I'm thoroughly satisfied, especially since from this purchaser it was 100% new with the plastic still on the box!

    Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2012

    The game itself is quite good in terms of mechanics. You won't be disappointed if you like robust games.

    That being said, the quality of the pieces is a joke. Pieces were already missing out of the punch out sheets when I first opened it, and a couple of things actually tore when I was punching them out. I play a lot of board games so I'm well practiced at punching out safely, but with this game it is just impossible due to the cheapness of the pieces. I had one of the plastic character pieces break on me the first time I picked it up.

    It's a fun game, just manufactured with the cheapest possible materials. If you're someone who is fastidious about their boardgames, this game will drive you mad. I want to love it, but something breaks every time I try to play.

    I'll be avoiding games made by the same manufacturer in the future unless they can start to produce pieces that don't fall apart on you when you're trying to unpack the damn thing.

    This game is not for the faint of heart. It has quite a few rules to learn and it takes an investment of time. But if you put in the time it is a really great game. The rules are clear and easy to learn, and are taught by playing a series of scenarios. The components are high quality, and there are tons of tiles for different rooms and outside areas. The miniatures are really nice, and there is a wide variety of equipment for them to use. The best part of the game is a built in random scenario generator which adds endless replay value for two, three, or four players. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a tactical warfare game with a ton of depth and fun.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Das mit Abstand beste Brettspiel!
    Reviewed in Germany on July 11, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Bei diesem Spiel handelt es sich um ein Brettspiel, welches dem Klassiker Descent grund-sätzlich nicht unähnlich ist. Allerdings ist das Szenario von Earth Reborn kein ausgelutschtes Fantasysetting, sondern eine durch einen terroristischen ABC-schlag fast vollständig zerstör-te postapokalyptische Welt. Die Hintergrundgeschichte ist sehr umfassend und gut geschrie-ben in der Anleitung enthalten. Sogar die einzelnen Spielfiguren werden äußerst detailliert vorgestellt, was sehr positiv zur Stimmung und zum Spielspaß beiträgt.

    Die Spielmechanik von Earth Reborn ist neu, sehr erfrischend und bietet unzählige strategi-sche Möglichkeiten. Jeder Charakter hat bestimmte Werte (Sichtfeld(!), Laufen, Panzerung, Zielen, Nahkampf, Schaden Fernkampf, Schaden Nahkampf und eine spezielle Fähigkeit). Diese Fertigkeiten werden mit Hilfe von Befehlsmarkern in Kombination mit Kommandopunk-ten ausgelöst und können mit den verschiedensten Waffen und anderen hilfreichen Objekten (z.B. Kettensäge :D) weiter modifiziert werden.
    Über die üblichen und aus anderen Spielen bekannten Aktionen (Laufen, Kämpfen etc) hin-aus bietet Earth Reborn viele weitere Möglichkeiten sich auf dem Spielbrett auszutoben: Räume können durchsucht werden, die Funkgeräte der Gegner können gestört werden, Feuer kann gelegt werden, der Zug des Gegners kann unterbrochen werden, Wände und Türen können aufgesägt werden, Verletzte geheilt und tote reanimiert werden, bestimmte Männliche Gegner von bestimmten (gut aussehenden) Charakteren können betört und auf die eigene Seite gezogen werden und, und, und...
    Ich möchte hier nicht weiter auf die Regeln eingehen, da diese sich über eine 44 Seiten lan-ge Anleitung hinziehen und dies den Rahmen der Rezension sprengen würde...

    Die Anleitung ist leider englisch aber dafür sehr gut gestaltet und mit anschaulichen Beispie-len versehen. Der Clou ist, dass jedes der ersten 7 Szenarien den Spielern 1 bis 2 neue Re-gelmechanismen beibringt und man so langsam aber auf sehr unterhaltsame Art und Weise in die komplexen Gesamtregeln von Earth Reborn eingeführt wird.

    Das Brettspiel besteht aus kleinen Komponenten und wird wie Tetris, je nach Szenario, zu-sammengebaut. Diese Flexibilität sorgt für einen enorm hohen Wiederspielwert. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich sich eigene Szenarien auszudenken oder auf den im Regelbuch be-schriebenen (verdammt guten) automatischen Szenariogenerator zurückzugreifen.

    Es ist unglaublich aber Earth Reborn hat es geschafft sogar mein bis dato llieblingsspiel Des-cent abzulösen!

    Earth Reborn ist -bis auf die sehr detailiert gestallteten - Spielfiguren optisch zwar nicht ganz so schön designt, wie Descent aber es hat eine nahe zu perfekte Balance der 2 Fraktionen, bietet erheblich mehr Interaktions- und Strategiemöglichkeiten und ist aufgrund der vorge-nanten Kriterien auch noch viel spannender als Descent.

    Es gibt ein ständiges Auf und Ab zwischen den Spielern. In einem Moment ist man der vollen Überzeugung, die Mission erfüllt zu haben und sieht sich vor dem inneren Auge schon alls strahlenden Sieger und Beherrscher der postapokalyptischen Welt und im nächsten Zug überrascht der Gegner mit einer unvorhergesehenen Finte und plötzlich wendet sich das Blatt um 180°.

    Fazit: Das beste Brettspiel, dass ich je gespielt habe und somit sehr empfehlenswert!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Post-apocalyptic sandbox, or "Fallout: The Board game"

    Epic game, lots of stuff in the box, tons of tiles, cards, (unpainted but beautiful) miniatures, tokens, dice etc... LOTS of rules. Be prepared to have a regular gaming partner for this, as there are 10 (or is it 12) tutorial missions that each introduce a new concept. After that the game is a fully customisable sandbox with endless variations. Game time is at least 2+ hours including setup. I'm surprised this game isn't more popular because it does what it sets out to do very well. I would have given it 5 stars if it weren't so difficult to find another player to commit to this!

    sono un veterano di giochi da tavolo e questo è decisamente pane per i miei denti:
    la grande profondità di questo gioco ne giustifica la complessità, ambientazione post-apocalittca, mappa tile-system componibile (tipo puzzle), miniature dettagliate pitturabili. Consigliato per non deboli di cuore

    NB il gioco è fino a 4 giocatori ma funziona meglio in 2

    Super Brettspiel kann ich nur sagen.
    Die Regeln sind zwar komplex doch es lässt sich flüssig spielen ohne groß in der Anleitung nachschlagen zu müssen. Hat man erstmal die Tutarial Scenarien durch, kann man sich seine eigenen erstellen, die immer wieder neue Herausforderungen bringen. So kann eine Partie zwischen 30 Minuten bis mehreren Stunden gehen.
    Zusätzlich kann man sich im Internet neue Missionen (teilweise Offizielle vom Hersteller) herunterladen.

    Das balancing der beiden Fraktionen ist sehr gut, hier ein klarer Vorteil zu Spielen wie Descent.

    Ich würde jeden der Spaß an Brettspielen sowie an Taktischen Gefechten (ala Jagged Alliance) raten das Spiel sofort zu kaufen, denn solche Spiele neigen schnell dazu vergriffen zu werden (siehe Star Craft). Ich hoffe das bald eine Erweiterung erscheint, und so wie ich gelesen hab wurde sie auch schon offiziell bestätigt.
